Peter hiding his identity felt a bit weird, since he's in the MCU

None of the other MCU characters hid their identity.

Well, to be fair he was still just a kid.

Its a plot hole within the MCU

How is it a plot hole?

[–] millsey72 (10244) 3 years ago

Everything is a plot hole unless proven otherwise

Pretty sure that's not how it works. Regardless, Peter hiding his identity doesn't create an inconsistency in the narrative of the story or his character.

Actually his identity is also a plot hole. A radio active spider cannot bite you and give you super powers. If it was that easy we would have well over a million spider people in the world. Myself included

I don't think you understand fiction.

I understand fiction as plot holes

The thing I find weird is that he is "hiding " his identity yet during the action he pulls his mask off every opportunity he gets. I understand it's because Tom Holland has it in his contract that he has to appear unmasked for a certain amount of the movie but it doesn't work.
